Do you know how to take the reciprocal?
unfortunately not:(
-1.5/ 1.5=
-1
got it?
Dont worry. It's not too hard. Basicly when your dividing one fraction by another fraction like how youre doing in this question you just flip one of the fractions and then instead of divide you multiply. Here's an example. \[\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }\div \frac{ 2 }{ 5 }\] We flip one of our fractions (it doesnt matter which one) Ill flip the \(\frac{ 2 }{ 5 }\). \[\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }\div \frac{ 5 }{ 2 }\] Because we flipped the \(\frac{ 2 }{ 5 }\) we need to change the division sign to multiplication: \[\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }\times \frac{ 5 }{ 2 }\] Now just multiply across: \[\frac{ 5\times2 }{ 4\times2 }=\frac{ 10 }{ 8 }\] Dont forget to reduce if your teacher requires you too
thanks Can you help with 2 more?
What is the sign of the product (3)(–3)(–2)(4)?
